The New Year’s Day tradition at Devil’s Fork

One of the jewels of the South Carolina state parks system, Oconee’s Devil’s Fork State Park, will bring in 2019 tomorrow with tradition. Which means the public may take part in a number of activities—including a 5K run on the park grounds. And, for those with a hearty disposition, there will be the annual Loon Lunge into the chilly Jocassee waters. In cooperation with the group Friends of Lake Jocassee, the quick dip into the lake is Devil’s Fork’s version of the polar bear club.
